A moderate reduction in calorie intake (calorie restriction, CR) improves insulin-stimulated glucose transport in skeletal muscle. Therefore, we studied muscle insulin signalling in ad libitum (AL) and CR ( approximately 60% AL intake for 20 days) fed rats, which received a control injection (sterile water) or an insulin injection (30 U kg-1 body weight). In control (not insulin-treated) rats, there was no detectable tyrosine phosphorylation of insulin receptor (IR), regardless of diet; no diet effect on tyrosine phosphorylation of insulin receptor substrate-1 (IRS1) or IRS1-associated phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI3K) protein and 21% higher IRS1-associated PI3K activity in AL vs. CR. In insulin-treated rats, tyrosine-phosphorylated IR was 79% higher for CR vs. AL; tyrosine-phosphorylated IRS1 was 109% higher for CR vs. AL; IRS1-associated PI3K protein and IRS1-associated PI3K activity were unaffected by diet. Calorie restriction amplifies early insulin signalling steps without changing IRS1-associated PI3K, suggesting enhanced glucose transport is mediated by altering: IRS1-PI3K localization, PI3K associated with proteins other than IRS1 or post-PI3K events.

D007328 Insulin A 51-amino acid pancreatic hormone that plays a major role in the regulation of glucose metabolism, directly by suppressing endogenous glucose production (GLYCOGENOLYSIS; GLUCONEOGENESIS) and indirectly by suppressing GLUCAGON secretion and LIPOLYSIS. Native insulin is a globular protein comprised of a zinc-coordinated hexamer. Each insulin monomer containing two chains, A (21 residues) and B (30 residues), linked by two disulfide bonds. Insulin is used as a drug to control insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus (DIABETES MELLITUS, TYPE 1).

D011972 Receptor, Insulin A cell surface receptor for INSULIN. It comprises a tetramer of two alpha and two beta subunits which are derived from cleavage of a single precursor protein. The receptor contains an intrinsic TYROSINE KINASE domain that is located within the beta subunit. Activation of the receptor by INSULIN results in numerous metabolic changes including increased uptake of GLUCOSE into the liver, muscle, and ADIPOSE TISSUE.
